Hey I have a quick question about recieving money with paypal.

When you get a payment for a product and it shows as in your paypal account, is it there for sure? There's no way they can get it back or have it not clear like say a check.

Here's what's going on: I sold a PSP with games and accessories on Ebay. The guy paid the $320 via paypal and it shows the payment in my account but I don't know if I should wait a couple days for the funds to transfer in my bank account before shipping it to be safe.

Or am I just being paranoid?

The reason I ask is cuz im a new seller and since I've started I've recieved 3 times the inquiries and bids from scammers than from legit ppl. All these fuggin Nigerian queers

Well thanks for any help guys.

PS- I have a FuijiFilm FinePix A500 Digi camera for sale for only $100 if anyone is interested

if its in your account your safe, pull it out if you want the guy can request the money back if he dosent want to keep your item like if its broken or you lied a little in your description. but if he did request it would take a while. so when you log into your paypal account if it shows its thier, then its safe and send the psp. Use your best judgement. if you feel fishy about anything then axe the whole sale and you can refund the money back. dunno if this helps you.
